As part of Google’s ongoing commitment to furthering Anita’s vision, we are pleased to announce the 2006 Google Anita Borg Scholarship, through which we hope to encourage women to excel in computing and technology and become active role models and leaders.

Scholarships will be awarded based on the strength of candidates’ academic background and demonstrated leadership. A group of female undergraduate and graduate student finalists will be chosen from the applicant pool. The scholarship recipients, selected from the finalists, will each receive a $10,000 scholarship for the 2006-2007 academic year.

All finalists will be invited to visit Google headquarters in Mountain View, California in April 2006 for a networking retreat in which they can meet and share their experiences. The retreat will include workshops with a series of speakers, panelists, breakout sessions and social activities.

Complete the online application form and submit the requested documentation via mail. All applications must be postmarked by Friday, January 20, 2006.

Finalists will be notified in March 2006 and recipients will be announced in April 2006.
